New DSLR needed

[peterhc]

Hi

I am thinking of upgrading from my 50D which I am using with 25-105 L canon lens to a new body, and I need advice between two cameras 5d mk3 and 6d mk. MK3 will be 2nd hand and probably a bit cheaper but, 6dmk2 got all the new stuff wifi nfc etc etc. So should I got for new 6dmk2 or 2nd hand 5d mk3?

Thanks

I’ve just bought a 6DII and 24-105 II kit new.

Couldn’t justify the extra for the 5DIII (even if used).

Plus GPS should be useful and IQ is close enough according to DXOMark to not be noticeable.

Should be arriving tomorrow!

Hi

I can get 5dmk3 for around £1k-1.2k with low shutter etc perfect condition, and 6dmk2 would cost me £1.8k so Im proper confused, also i do not care about video at all heh... decisions decisions

Thats a very good price for 6d mk2 with 24-105 L lens ! very tempting

Indeed. £2k for 6DII + 24-105 II.

I've played with mine now - controls on the back are no match for the 7D/5D series, but I'm fairly sure (hopeful!) that I'll get used to it...

Otherwise IQ is as you'd expect from FF, stunningly good. ISO1600 looks like ISO400 on my 7D.

So other than the awful multi-selector wheel thing and the thumb wheel being too small - I'm happy so far.

Yes you right I was looking on mk1 silly me. The only thing stpping me buying 6d mk2 is lack of joystick and that silly wheel on the back, as i got useto 50d controls so much. Let us know more about it. Is this uk product or grey import. Also I have seen they offer 3 years warranty I winder how it works. Thanks in advance.
